The Spaniard and soon-to-be world No. 1 claimed his third victory on the PGA Tour this year on Sunday.

Birdie.— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) Spieth is a past winner in the state of Florida, but this portion of the playing schedule has given him some fits in recent years as it is likely he tees it up at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship. Who knows if he'll play at Bay Hill or TPC Sawgrass (my money would be on neither) before the Masters, but if he does, the reception will be no different than what it was at Riviera. Tiger Woods (-1): There was some good and there was some bad from Woods in his first competitive start since The Open at St. The big-hitting Bulldog stood toe-to-toe with two of the hottest players in the game over the weekend at Riv, and had a few lip-outs lipped in, a completely different story could have been told. The 26-year-old should be a legitimate contender at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in two weeks as any back concerns appear to be behind him. That was the closest he would get thanks to a pair of poor bogeys down the stretch. He has always been lauded as a player to get the most out of his runs into contention, and before this week, had never finished runner-up on the PGA Tour. A birdie from Rahm on the 14th was a punch in the gut from which Homa was never able to fully recover. Having just jumped ahead of Rahm for the first time all day, the Californian hit a bizarre tee shot that barely got off the ground and hit dead in the center of a eucalyptus tree. Good for his fifth worldwide victory in his last nine starts, the run Rahm is currently on can only be classified as historic. The Spaniard and soon-to-be world No.

Jon Rahm put together a final-round 69 to hold off Max Homa by one stroke for his third PGA Tour win of the year.

He smothered his second into the brush area further left and did well to make a bogey from there. Rahm contributed to the two-shot swing on Homa, meanwhile, records his first-ever runner-up finish on the PGA Tour after beginning the day three strokes back. “But in my mind, I feel like since August I’ve been the best player in the world.” 1 for the first time since last March and continues an incredible run of five wins in his last nine starts.

I would say other than Tiger and I don’t even know, he’s the most consistent player I’ve seen.” The Genesis Invitational is one of those. Rahm’s win was his 10th since joining the PGA Tour in 2017. “I’ve never had three PGA Tour wins in a season and to do it this early on is incredible, and to do it at this golf course,” Rahm said.

Jon Rahm was the Man of Steel in seizing victory at Riviera (GolfDigest.com)

Jon Rahm made two birdies over the last four holes to win the Genesis invitational and reach No. 1 in the world again.

As with Rahm at 10, it could have been a bigger calamity, but Homa managed to get his third on the green and two-putt for bogey. But Homa made a huge mistake on the next hole when his hooked drive hit a eucalyptus tree and his second shot stayed in a dirt wash well short of the green. 8 when he stuffed his approach to a foot for a tap-in birdie, and when Homa bogeyed, the advantage was three shots again. With Homa looking at a six-foot birdie putt he’d eventually make, Rahm was facing a complete disaster, but he made an impressive up-and-down, draining his six-foot putt for “only” a bogey. Homa countered with making a 10 footer for birdie, and he was just one back. The Burbank-born Homa had delivered a title for his fans, too, with his Genesis victory in 2021 that kick-started an impressive career rise.

Jon Rahm won The Genesis Invitational on Sunday with an impressive four-round score of 17-under — two shots ahead of second-place Max Homa.

He still is several million dollars behind Scheffler's $13.17 million mark, set in just last season. FedEx Cup Playoff Only Scottie Scheffler ($13.17 million earned in 2022) has earned more than Rahm has this season — and the former after a full season. All that to say: Rahm has made himself considerably richer in the 2022-23 PGA Tour, earning roughly $1.4 million per tournament played so far. (That's certainly helped by the Genesis Invitational's massive purse, which is tied for second-most on the PGA Tour this season at $20 million). It also resulted in an incredible $3.6 million payout, easily his biggest of the season.

'He's like Thanos': Jon Rahm's brilliance leaves his competition in awe (Golf.com)

Jon Rahm is a cut above the rest of pro golf at the moment. He re-established that dominance by outdueling Max Homa at the Genesis.

Is he neck-and-neck with Rory McIlroy, or is on a level of his own? But Homa is self-aware enough to see that there’s a level he hasn’t yet reached, even if the margins are so slim they need to be measured over months and years rather than individual tournament rounds. There was Dustin Johnson in the spring of 2017, after Jordan Spieth and Jason Day in 2015. And who’s to say he won’t be able to chase after some of them? Rory McIlroy captured the mood of the field on Thursday, admitting when he saw Rahm was six under and atop the early leaderboard, he rolled his eyes (at least figuratively) and thought, “Again?!?” Thanos was back for more. Rahm escaped with a par and promptly poured in a birdie from 45 feet on the next hole. He’s won five of his last nine tournaments worldwide, and in the four he didn’t win he finished in the top eight every time. But Rahm is also playing the best golf of his life and is finally comfortable admitting it.

Spaniard has had his issues with the world rankings but there's no argument after three wins in five starts.

Rahm’s return to that position (for a fifth time) means he has now reached a total of 44 weeks and potentially headed into a prolonged period of dominance. I think he was able to win three in a row 14 times if I’m correct. How many times had he done this at the age of 28? I mean, I’m the third player to be number one in the world in, what, just over a month and a half (following Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler). Rahm has just one career Major as yet – the 2021 US Open – but his annexing of the Genesis brought his total of PGA Tour wins to 10, one more than Ballesteros. “I’m also right on what I said earlier on in the year.
